It did not take long.

NY judge rejects US abortion ban

A second US federal judge has ruled against a new US ban on late-term abortions, defying the measure backed by President George W Bush.
New York Judge Richard Casey granted a request by the National Abortion Federation and seven doctors to block enforcement of the ban.

Democracy is a wonderful thing.

Not likely.

Federal courts cannot tell state courts what to do.

Oh really? Then why can state court decisions be appealed to federal courts?

im pro choice but against late term abortion. they partially deliver the baby and then kill it. why would that be legal but assisted suicide be illegal?

They are appealled to the state supreme courts, not federal supreme courts unless it invloves federal law.

This is a federal law so this New York judge is a federal judge, so I was mistaken in my previous post. in any case, the SP will probably not hear it and let it stand.

Yeah only particular types of appeals from the state courts can go to the supreme courts.
